Tut scramble for ollice in some of
the judicial districts in this State sug
gests the evils of our prefect system of
an elective judiciary The Herald
doesn't believe any man is l't for
a District or Supreme judgeship who
will spend weeks and months scheming
aod plotting to obtaiu such a nomina
tion. Tuk Maryland democracy, adding
to the chaos of the irretrievable differ
ences among the democracy of the sev
eral States, which have formulated
platforms of principles, announces in
sononorous phrases the doctrine of
ultra states rights and declares that it
'enters the campaign of this and cu
"suiug years" grimly hugging- this ef
fete idea of ante belluin days.
General Grant in his rriru hunioi
once remarked that the democratic
party could always be relied upon to
blunder at the right moment.
It would be bad enough, and larcial
enoug!s. had the Maryland bourbons
contented themselves with this non
sense for tte year only ; but to resolve
that all "ensuing years" should be de
voted to the ad vocacy of thelt cause,
is too ridiculous. Yet, it is democratic.
The Omaha Republican is verymuch
worried over Congressman Laird. The
Republican claims it appointed itself
Mr. Laird's counsel and having got cur
James Fitz James into court, it doesu t
know, exactly, what to do with him on
account of- his conspicuous absence.
The Republican, however, thinks one
thing, and announces that thing to the
absent defendant with great emphasis;
and that is, the flaming James Fitz
James cannot afford to prove indiffer
ent to an "Omaha Editor" especially if
that individual happens to be tho al
leged editor of the Republican. Come
Bro. Laird, it won.t do to onVod ao
"Omaha editor" oh no . If the
Republican would read the charge &
made in the IIerald witness' affidavit,
it would see that Congressman Laird
has very little to answer, and when he
says the witness lie, that is about all
there is of it
The following epitome of republi
canism oming from the great republi
can party of Massachusetts is so clear
ly cut, so pointed, so ucequivocal in
utterance, that we especially recom
mend it to our honest democratic read
ers who have been confused with the
many colored, etraddling, dodgiug,
double intending declarations, of "their
party, in the different States; and we
ask them to place it side by side with
these democratic utteranres and hon
estly compare the same.
Says the Massachusetts republicans
we favor
1st. "Equal rights.
2d. "A lairly counted vote.
3d. "A pure civil service beyond
the reach of party conflicts.
4th. A sound currency based oa an
honest specie dollar.
5th. A liberal but not wasteful ex
penditure of the public money.
6lh. 'A largely reduced taxation.
7th. "Laws to promote and develop
American industries bot'.i at home and
on the ocean."
THE evidence of the democracy of
the nation to catch at stia3 anything
for votes can be found cropping out
of the eighth plank of the platform,
which Mr. Autimonopoly Morton
wormed out of his vest pockft lately,
and turned over to the democratic
state convention, which asked for non
partisan support for Judge Savage.
Sys this eihth plank "We condemn
the Stout contract sue ! led for convict
,tabor by which duly convicted felons
'-are enabled, in the interest of Stout
"to cobbi wrth free, bonevti raUoreri
'in the markets of Liucoln and the
state."
In tne lirst place this resolution, fair
ly construed, would inenn that it was
on account of Stout that Mr. Morton
condemns the uso of cor.net labor; If
it vi-i .oiiio ir o i democrat, the con
verge of the proposition would lead u
to conclude this reformer would not
protest, but would say it was all right
lur Hi" state of Nebraska to make tbis
state institution self sustaining, if pos
siil ly employing the felons to la
bor; a3 well as the further fact that it
is to the iutereot of the state and hu
manity, tt.at this class of lawless indi
viduals should bo compelled learned
to labor ; this is one of tho principles
upon which American prisons are
managed ; bu', take the states when
democracy is in power, and what ia U12
result? Do they grow virtuously solici
tous in regard to the interests of "free,
honost, la'oreid" in this respect? Will
Mr. Autimonojoly Morton, and his
hcuclimen, point us to n si.i?!c state,
where th:1 denio?ratic party, having
obtained control, have reformed mat
ters in this respect? In Georgia and
other southern states, under democtat
ic rule, we find this convict labor i
hired out upon public works and em
ployed in building railroad, to that
extent, driving honest laoor from those
states.
The only thing evidenced by this
eighth resolve, of the democratic plat
form of this stair-, is tlx; length of Mr.
Morton's ears; which if I'uythiug, are
longer than those of the party to which
he professes to Vlong.
PHASE OF SANITARY SCIENCE.
From the New York Tribune.
One of the compliant? urged against
sanitary engineers hy practical plum
bers is that they cannot agree upon
fundamental piincples and ate altering
their ri-tjuin incuts l'roni year to year.
1 he plumbing laws and sanitary regu
lations of the buildiug departments in
large cities are ordinarily framed by
this new class of sanitary engineer?
occupying an intermediate place be
tween the architects and the contract
ors. Not only are there ..wide discre
pancies in practice under these various
codes, but in the same locality there
are constant changes in the theory of
sanitary science. A house that is built
in accordance with the approved spec
locations of the most competent engi
uecrs will be condemned wiihin live
years by tl;e same authorities as faulty
iu its sanitary appliances. For exam
ple, the- ventilation of drain-pipes has
been one of the chief objects kept in
view b the experts. The first sugges
tion was to carrv a small tube from the
vertical drain-pipe to toe ro f, the slim
ing of the walls of the conpuit beiug
theoretically prevented by the admi
sion of air. This tune was epeUiiy
eulaigtd until it was me same- size us
the dram-pipe. Then the argument
was useu that it was useles to veuti
lato a j-ipe at one end only, aud that in
order o sena a current of air lrom top
to bottom a side-pipe must he run out
from ih- horizontal drain pipe under
me basement to the o::ter wall. Having
provided for a complete circulation of
air in the drainage system, the engineers
paused lor breath; but. already they
nave resumed operations at the root'.
1'liey are now enlarging the soil-pipe
at tne upper end in order to faclilate a
drought, and probably before long they
will be introducing additional appli
ances at the lower end aud in the mid-
die.
In like manner there have been
variations of opinion regarding mate
rials Earthen pipes were condemned
aud cast-iron pipes recommended as
absolutely sate. The engineers now
complain that cast iron pipes ordina
rily leak at the joints under a head of
waier, and thai, the iutcrior surtaces
laciiitate the formation of sewer linings.
Wrought-iron is regarded by the high
est authorities as the best material for
it rain pipes indoors. At the same time
materials ami pipe-ventilation are con
! sidered subordinate in importance to
tne emcieut cleansing ot wnaie-pipes
by the gallons of water discharged with
consi lerable velocity. Mr. Georsre E.
Waring, jr., in the current number of
The American Architect, says that
flushing" is the watchword ot the best
sanitary science 01 the present time, aud
confesses that, he has little faith in the
universal specific of trap ventilation
aud kindreU appliances. Now the sep
aration ot the drain-pipe with its vol
ume ot air and gases by means of wa
ter-seals and other devices, simple and
complex, from the atmosphere of the
house, has been one ot the chief aims of
the sanitary engineer. A thousand and
one traps and mechanical obstructions
have been invented tor this purpose,
and at least a hundred of them have
been pronounced absolutely sate by
coinpeteut authorities. In every house
erected unuer tne new sanitary codes
wash btands, sinks and hoppers on every
noor, auu me mam u ram age pipes, are
required to be trapped, and the cost of
plumbing in this aud in other respects
has more than uouoieu during the last
titteen years. Yet hereia Mr. Warins.
one of the leaders of sanitary science,
blurting out his want of faith in these
cosi-y appiiauceB. a ne system or ven
tilating traps, he says, is attended with
dangers equal to t hose which it ia mten
ued to remove, and mechanical '.raps
are a makeshilt also, which become
seats ot" decomposition mi less thev stre 1
kept constantly under the eye and cop
iously flushed.
It is a singular fact that in spite of
the thousand inventions in plumber's
appliances, and the countless safeguards
J w hich sanitary science has devised, tho
best advice which one of the most ac
complished engineers ha to give to
house-builders is to have as little work
of this sort as possible. Mr. Waring
applies the mathematical rule to plum
bing, aud avers that the danger mcrea
ju vwwiy w ttte sqaTO of the Uia-
tances. G'ven four times the length of
lateral pipe or twice the number of
stationary wash-stands or sinks, and
tho danger is either sixteen or four
times ds gieat. He would therefore
cut off all wash-stands and baths from
bedrooms, and disensing with every
lateial pipe of any length would con
centrate in a single bathroom 011 a floor
all the water and drainage appliances,
thus making simplicity the main ele
ment of eatty.
